Aftercare

Proper aftercare is crucial to achieving the best results. General guidelines include:

​

  • Keep the Area Clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with mild soap and water. Avoid scrubbing.

  • Moisturize: Apply a recommended healing ointment or moisturizer to keep the area hydrated.

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the area from direct sunlight. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen if exposure is unavoidable.

  • No Picking: Avoid picking at any scabs or peeling skin to prevent infection and ensure even healing.

  • Avoid Swimming and Hot Tubs: Stay away from pools, hot tubs, and saunas until fully healed.

Step 1: Scar Reduction - Pre-Camouflage

 

The inkless method, performed with tattoo needles, focuses on softening scar tissue and smoothing out the texture of the scar. Known as the scar relaxation technique or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), this step prepares the scar for better color retention in subsequent camouflage sessions. Different types of needles are used based on the scar tissue, creating controlled micro-damage to the scarred area. This minor trauma stimulates blood flow, triggering the body's natural healing process. The dry needling technique causes micropunctures that create channels, prompting the body to restore collagen, melanin, and elastin, which promotes the restructuring of damaged skin into healthier tissue.Raised scars will flatten and smooth out, while tight scars will loosen, releasing tension on the surrounding skin. Discolored scars begin to normalize, evening out the skin tone and color. Sensations in previously numb scar tissue may improve, as nerve endings start to regenerate.Proper aftercare, tailored to different stages of wound healing, maximizes the treatment results and lightens hyperpigmented scars. Our signature FADE MILK skin whitening cream, specifically formulated for dark scars, has shown remarkable results in improving scar appearance during this stage.

 

Step 2: Scar Camouflage

 

Once the scar is lighter and flatter, we use advanced color-matching skills to create a tone that matches your natural skin. This custom-matched pigment is then tattooed into the areas missing pigment, seamlessly blending the scar with the surrounding skin for a flawless finish.

The Benefits of Scar Camouflage Tattoos

 

The application of scar cover up tattoos offers far-reaching benefits that extend beyond aesthetics. Primarily, these tattoos help individuals reclaim their confidence by providing a long lasting solution to scar visibility. The use of microneedling for scars is an effective technique incorporated into this process. Microneedling stimulates the skin's natural healing abilities, encouraging collagen production and skin regeneration. This aids in improving the texture and appearance of the scarred area, further enhancing the effectiveness of the scar camouflage tattoos. Lastly, the psychological benefits of scar camouflage tattoos cannot be understated. For many, scars can be a constant reminder of a traumatic event or an aspect of their appearance they wish to change. Scar camouflage tattoos can help lessen this psychological burden, offering individuals a renewed sense of self-confidence and freedom from past traumas. The outcome is more than skin-deep; it's about regaining control and embracing one's skin with renewed self-assurance.
